General Safety Instructions
1. This unit is designed and manufactured solely for the purpose of carrying and pumping diesel fuel for
refueling duties. Under no circumstances should it be used for any other purpose. It must never be used
for transporting petrol or chemicals.
2. Only authorised and trained personnel are to operate this equipment. Operators must have read and
fully understood this manual before operating the DieselPatrol unit.
3. Do not operate this equipment while under the influence of alcohol or any drugs that could impair your
capabilities in any way.
4. Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) must be worn when refuelling or operating the pump on the
DieselPatrol. Exposure to excessive noise over an extended period can cause impairment or loss of
hearing.
5. Avoid diesel or unleaded petrol contact with skin and eyes, and avoid breathing vapours or mists. Refer
to the relevant Safety Data Sheet (SDS).
6. Any spillage of fuel while refilling the pump engine’s tank should be immediately cleaned up and the
materials used in the clean-up disposed of safely and in accordance with relevant regulations applying
to the safe use, storage and disposal of fuel.
7. Disconnect the battery, if fitted, before conducting any electrical maintenance work.
8. Ensure the capacity of the vehicle is suitable for the loaded mass of the DieselPatrol. Refer to the
vehicle’s operator manual for safe working loads and relevant safety instructions. Do not exceed the
carrying and braking capacity as specified by the vehicle manufacturer. As a guide, one litre of diesel
weighs approximately 0.85 kilograms (kg), therefore a full 800 litre DieselPatrol trailer unit will weigh in
excess of 1,000kg.
9. Ensure the tow vehicle is equipped with a 7-pin plug, with the AUX pin wired for 12-volt power. This pin
connects to the brake safety unit (for the braked trailer option).
10. The DieselPatrol must never be left unattended while being filled with diesel.
11. Do not operate the pump when there is no diesel in the tank.
12. Do not disconnect any hoses, nozzles or filters while the equipment is operating. Disconnecting any
components while under pressure may result in uncontrolled diesel discharge which may be hazardous.
13. Care should be taken at all times, particularly when operating on rough or steep terrain. Drivers should
be aware of fluid surge affecting the centre of gravity.
14. The DieselPatrol has safety labels affixed to various locations on the unit. These labels should be kept
clean and legible, and replaced if damaged.
15. The tanks is a confined space. Ensure compliance with AS 2865: 2001 Safe Working in a Confined
Space Guidelines and relevant state legislation.
16. Any unauthorised modifications to this equipment may affect its function and create a serious safety
risk. Any unauthorised modifications will void any warranty on the unit.
